And in addition, Washington's Birthday has been publicly celebrated since he was in office, before Abraham Lincoln was even born. Just to add bit of trivia: The Federal statute designates this day as Washington's Birthday, President Nixon issued a proclamation declaring the holiday as "President's Day" in 1971. Happy President's Day (though it's already over) everyone, and here's some interesting trivia: President's Day rarely, if ever, falls on the actual birthday of a former President. It usually isn't close to either Washington's Birthday (February 22nd) or Lincoln's Birthday (February 12th). Also, President's Day is celebrated differently by state – Alabama for instance, calls it Washington and Jefferson Day, though Jefferson's birthday is in April and he was from Virginia. (He also wasn't Washington's biggest fan, and wasn't about to get payday loans or anything for a floral arrangement for Hamilton's funeral. Hamilton wasn’t Jefferson's biggest fan either.) Another tidbit – Washington created the precursor to the Purple Heart, and was the only President to issue it.
